jpc Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 ooohhh.. I like these. #1, yes, water worn frill chunk. I see the typical vein impressions. #2 gar vert #3 gar scales #4 croc tooth, yup $5 Little sandstone nodule. I do not know what these are other than that. #6 This is really unusual for the Lance. looks plantish, like petrified wood. I have never seen calcified wood like this in the Lance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 @jpc I have another piece of wood with the same crystalization but it's the normal light beige color I would expect not black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 #7 probably a piece of frill with the blood / nerve vessel preserved differently. We have a few of these in the museum collections and I wonder if the preservation is related to actual blood in some way. #8 The texture looks coprolitic, but the shape does not. #9 Iron rich sandstone. Not man made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 About 9 not saying at all humans existed with dinos assume this was either trash or something that was ontop of the formation that got washed in to the river wash this sediment came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svcgoat Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 I asked the seller for the exact county as I am intersted about the wood. Is calcified wood common in Hell Creek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 I was thinking tendon when I first saw #7 but I was no where near confident in my assessment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it is truly embedded in the bone, not just sitting on a broken bone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
